ditating for a while, Lith felt as if soone was calling him. He opened his eyes and looked around but there was no one present except for the white strings of elental energies.
'Is it just my imagination?' Lith wondered.
He closed his eyes again and went back to ditating. However, the feeling of soone calling him returned and he couldn't help but open his eyes again and look around.
This felt a bit creepy and Lith thought of moving sowhere else.
Lith walked passed the white strings and went in so random direction. However, he felt as if soone was whispering sothing in his ears and when he turned to that direction, he saw nobody except the white strings fluctuating strangely, as if showing him a path to sowhere.
'Yeah, definitely a trap. I am not going.' Lith flew up in the air and started flying to a place far away from where the strange noise was pointing him towards.
He ensured that he always went in so random direction and didn't continue for long on the sa path. Doing so would result in him being tricked by that sothing strange and he was trying to outsmart whatever that was.
Soon…
After half a day's travel, Lith arrived on top of a small hill.
The hill was barren and there was only one thing present here. It was a black and gray palm tree with strange star shaped fruits growing on it.
Lith wasn't stupid enough to pluck those fruits and eat it like how a curious shonen protagonist would. He simply sat a bit away from the tree and ditated to calm himself and think of a way to get out of this place.
Firstly, he couldn't understand how he even got here. He didn't even think of this place yet he was here. Secondly, this place was so empty. There were no signs of people being present anywhere and it was kind of concerning.
Just what part of the Astral World was Lith in? He couldn't help but think.
A few hours passed and sothing caught Lith's attention.
A bit away from him, in the forest below the hill, there was sothing that was making a strange noise and also shaking the trees and branches around.
It definitely seed like there was so beast or sothing similar present there and this made Lith curious.
It had been quite a while and these seed to be the only signs indicating that there was life present here. However, Lith still didn't budge from his place and stayed where he was.
He was now definitely sure that sothing or soone was calling him and asking him to move to so place desperately. Although this may have been a good thing if he was in ani, reality was entirely different.
Being in ani, such strange occurance would lead mc to so place nice and he would end up getting rewarded heavily foe sothing. Maybe he would even end up with so hacks that would help him beco a god or sothing.
But, the reality Lith was in, this world he lived in, it was a cruel one. It was either kill or be killed and Lith wasn't going to risk himself for sothing, even if it might an that it was sothing that would benefit him a lot.
Take risks when necessary, but not always. This was sothing Lith followed. Currently, there was no need to take such risks, he had everything with him.
Unless…
'If what I am thinking is true, then things are much scarier than they seem.' Lith thought to himself.
Sothing struck his mind and made him want to go check what that strange thing was.
Lith went downhill and slowly made his way towards the trees that were moving and the noise was occurring.
Soon, Lith reached there and the next thing he saw, it made him completely shocked!
There was a small pond surrounding which there were many trees. In that pond, there were two fishes and they were coiling around each other.
One was black and had so white spots on it while the other was white and had so black spots on it.
'Ying Yang!' Lith exclaid in his mind.
How they hell did that strange sothing that's calling him know what Lith needs!? How was this even possible!?
But despite his initial shock, Lith remained calm and watched what the fishes were doing.
The fishes in the pond took turns to jump out of it and eat a fruit from the trees near the pond.
The fruits were of different shapes and each ti they ate a fruit, so strange engravings on the body of the fish would turn to the opposite color of the body.
For instance, the black fish jumped and ate a circular fruit. This caused a small area on its body to change color and beco a white circle.
'I should be running away from this. It seems too dangerous.' Lith thought to himself.
But then, on another thought, Lith needed to have clues that would help him modify the Ying Yang Vīrya Sutra for his wives. It was important.
Lith's gut feeling was telling him that this is definitely a trap. But his heart said that he must face the dangers if he wants to give his wives the best things in the world.
But there was his mind telling him that if sothing happened to him, they would be much sadder than ever and no amount of things would be enough to heal their hearts.
Lith was stuck in a rock and a hard place and he finally decided that it would be best to move away from this place and not sink in to this, even if it ant not being able to modify the dual cultivation art.
Lith just happened to reverse his position with one of his wives. He thought, what should, say, Emilia should do if she was in his place.
Should Emilia face the danger to get himself sothing good or should she simply back away from that danger? Lith's obvious answer to that would be Emilia should back away. He would want Emilia to be safe rather than have all the riches in the world.
He applied this thing on himself and thus, backed away quietly.
It was a pity to let go of this opportunity, but it couldn't be helped.
Just as Lith was trying to fly up in the air, he heard a snake hiss in his direction and without even turning back, Lith imdiately opened his wings and flew up while also using space elental energy to warp space and move quickly.
As soon as Lith was in the air, he saw a ten ter tall eagle with three heads fly towards him with great speed. Lith didn't bother to fight it and tried his best to fly to so place safe.
'Now that I am not falling for the trap, that soone is making a desperate attempt to get . I think I know that even if I am caught by these creatures, I won't be hard unless I reached that place that I was ant to go by following those white strings.' Lith made an analysis.
Lith only had a hypothesis and he wasn't sure of things. Nevertheless, he would never stupidly let himself get caught. Lith would fight till his last breath if needed, but not for sothing he wasn't even sure of was beneficial or not to him.
Only stupid people would fight unnecessarily and duke it out with whoever or whatever creature they find.
A while of flying later, the creatures stopped coming after Lith and he finally got a break from them.
Lith sat down on the ground to take a deep breath and calm himself down from all of this.
Just as he sat down, Lith felt a strong sense of danger and all his hair stood out on their ends.
From the corner of his eye, he could tell that sothing was beside him and was very close to his face.
Lith thought of running away, but then sothing struck him and he stood in his place calmly and didn't move, ignoring the alarms ringing inside his head.
Soon, at the corner of Lith's eye, there seed to be sothing with an extrely dark face and red eyes staring at him.
Lith tried his best to ignore it and took deep breaths and cald himself down.
There was no need to panic and run away. The situation was under control, despite appearing seemingly terrifying.
A few minutes passed and, a breeze grazed past Lith's ear.
From that breeze, Lith finally heard a whisper again, this ti more clearly than before:
"Boy…"
